COMLY ft FRANCISCO, rVBLIBHIBI AND PBOPBIETOKB. JAMES !H. COMLY, Warmer and partly cloudy weather today, with rain in the Mmittippi Valley. The British Minister at Pekin has telegraphed for troops. Trouble seems to be brewing. Sam Cary is so in love with rag money that he just almost gave away a valuable silver mine to his Cincinnati friends. It is mid they will never forget him for it in fact, they tried to make it a matter of court record. Cam. John H. Putnam, editor of the Dispatch and Private Secretary to Governor Allen, is also publisher of the Chillicothe Advertiser, the old hardshell, dyed-in-the-wool Bourbon Democratic organ for Fruit Hill and Boss county. Here is a significant fact : Millers-burg, Ohio, has thirtyeight business establishments, which pay an aggregate tax of $2,45618, while the First National Bank of Millersburg alone pays $4,864.49, or $1,008.18 more than all the other business houses of the place. Toledo, in spite of its unsuitableness, is determined to have the State fish hatchery. It ought to start a frog hatchery and be content. That would cost the State nothing and prove an unparalleled success. Let the Future Great City confine herself to her natural in duitries. Good advice to Catholics now : "Fear not them that can kill the body, but have not power to kill the soul rather fear Him who hath power to cast both soul and body into hell. Yea I Bay fear Him." "If this is treason make the most of it." CafAofic Columbian, Aug. 28. ' In other words, bow to the infallibi lit? of the Pope at all times and under al circumstances, when he commands you owe allegiance to none other. What is the life of the American republic in com' parison to the welfare of the Vatican at Borne? The failure of the Bank of California is eagerly caught up as an argument against resumption. It is just the reverse. It is a practical and impressive argument against inflation. The causes of this great failure are precisely such aa we sug' gested yesterday. Inordinate speculation is the wasting influence that has brought down the great financial giant of the Pa cific Coast. Ralston, Sharon and the rest have been grasping for Nevada bonanzas, have recklessly plunged into the whirlpool of stock gambling, have staked all in a desperate contest for con trolling interests in railways, mines and other great speculative ventures, and the result is what we see. It is true the Bank of California is a coin bank. It is also true that the bus! ness of the Pacific Coast has been and transacted upon a coin basis. But there is nothing in th nature of resumption or of gold and silver, to prevent reckless' ness in business, or protect men from the consequences of thsir own folly. The most ardent advocates of resumption claim no such thing. Panios occur in coin currency times as well as in paper curnncy times. Men mismanage their business and fail when the paper dollar la worth a dollar in gold just a well as when it is not. Then is no known preventive of thee things as long as men are weak, reckless and tempted. It is true they an n likely to occur and an far more stilly bone, when th currency basis is hard money thaa when it ia Irredeemable paper, and California baa bean notably free from financial dilute ri wbea all the rat of the country waa convulsed. Prosperity has prevailed then when atafnatioa pro-railed hero, and production has kept right along, growing and flourishing, while it languished or expired ia all the paper money States. Than ia this further to be aaid ia favor of th California system, that it will stand ouch a disaster as this far better thaa ours would. Th Bank of California, though not qaita so famous, wu really a greater institution than half a doien such as that of Jay Cook A Co. Th breaking down of auch a bank in New York, if, indeed, New York had such an one, would apnad ruia far and wide. But th chance seem to be that business will go right along in Sao Francisco without anything like such a convulsion as swept over this part of the Dnioa two years ago. Th excitement on California street waa subsiding yesterday, and then had been no commercial failure. Then is no paper bubble to burst, as then would be here, and the icope and effects of the disaster must be proportionately less. But this failure teaches th folly and illustrate th evil of currency redundancy. No matter whether that currency be coin or paper, toe effects will be the same in kind, if not in degree. An excess of coin produces extravagance la living and recklessness in business juat as does an ex cess of paper. Germany is now suffering from a debauch of this kind just ss Spain suffered after her discoveries of gold and silver in Mexico and South America. California has had a redundancy of money. Her mines have furnished a contin ual stream of. coin, and her bank vaults have been crammed with gold and silver. This excess of idle capital has produced mischief. The plentifulness of money and the ease with which it could be obtained has tempted men into all sorts of wild, reckless enterprises. While the bonanzas were pouring out their fabulous wealth there seemed to be no limit to the resources for chance money making, and speculation has run riot. The Californians have astonished the world by their business recklessness and general style of fast living. They are a people habitually intoxicated by currency excess. But these things must have an end, and the end has come. The mad debauch has reached its limit, and the time has oome for sobering up. Let the people of Ohio profit by the frightful example so opportunely furnished, and set their faces sternly against all similar follies, B0YT0N BEATEN. Captain Webb Swims the Eoglkh Channel Within 23 Hours. He Lands on the French Coast Wearied but Well. Progress and Incidents of the Great Exploit. Saw York Herald 3. ecial. London, Aug. 25. Captain Webb, who started on his second attempt to swim the English Channel from Dover to Calais on Tuesday, at one o'clock in the afternoon, arrived at the latter place to-day at noon, after being in the water twentytwo hours and fortylhreeisinutes, nearly three hours lunger man lue time lu wuium MB emulated to accomplish the journey. THE bate of speed.-At halfpast five p. m. he was progress ing at the rate of twenty strokes a minute, the sea and weather being favorable. He was Furnished witn at ana beet tea, and again at eight p. m. with beef tea and beer. Alter that he rested on his back for a while, TROUBLED WITH SEAWEED, At nine o'clock he became troubled with seaweed, and at eleven he took a draught of cod liver oil. When the moon rose, at one in the morning, some brandy and tea were administered to him, Webb declaring at the tine that the swim across was "a sate thing." A TURN IN THE TIDE, At three a, m. he took some coffee. At this time the tide turned northward, and Webb appeared exhausted. His trainer stripped and held himself in readiness to go to Webb's assistance, out webD laugh' ingly declined the proffered aid. WHAT THE DRIFT MIGHT DO. At this time he was still keeping up a pace of twenty Btrokes per minute. Fears were entertained that the northern tide drift would throw Webb abreast of Calais sands, as the sequel proved, PLUCK OF THE SWIMMEB, . At four o'clock a. m., and four miles further progress, daylight broke. Webb was drowsy, and conee and brandy were given mm. At ball-past five rtiden's buoys were in sight and tneir position located. At seven o'clock a westerly breeze sprung: up and a chopping sea fol lowed, making the prospect extremely discouraging; but the indomitable pluck of the swimmer never faltered. webd's accompaniment. A small skiff kept on the weather side of Webb, who was now swimming slowly and had juBt partaken ot a brandy straight. CHEERED BY CALAIS STEAMERS. Every twenty minutes soundings were taken at eight and ten fathoms. Steamers came out from Calais and stesmed alongside the gallant swimmer on the weather side, the sea breaking all the while, Cheers upon cheers went up, snd Webb seemed to teel their inspiring influence. IN SHALLOW WATER. He laid a direct course for Calais sands. westward of the pier, and at half past ten a. m. was in shallow water. WELL AND SAFELY LANDED. At forty minutes past ten a, m. the he. role Webb stood on French soil, tired, of course, but very shortly recovered, tie was conveyed to a hotel in a carriage, rub bed down, put to bed, and at one o'clock when the Herald correspondent sailed for Dover, Webb was tranquilly asleep, and th doctors had no fears of any serious consequences.

The National Gold Bank and Trust Company have sent in in following notice lor publication in the morning papen : ' "In consequence of the panic and im- Cibility of obtaining gold the National k and Trust Company will close until further notice. The bank has $1,300,000 over and above all its liabilities, and as soon as coin can be obtained will resume business a usual.

AsTltaltea of Mew York Depositor. New York, Aug. 27. The news ef suspension of the Bank of California this morning produced considerable excitement among depositors and creditors generally of that institution in this city. The offices of Laidlow & Co., agents of the bank in this city, have since tbe opening of their doon at an early hour been thronged with anxious inquiries, In obe dience to instructions received by telegraph no checks were cashed. The senior member of the firm was aBked for information concerning the condition of the bank, and of the affairs of Laidlow A Co. independently of their agency for the Bank of California, but he replied that he could say nothing. Among the visitors who wen anxious to obtain money for paper were four or five Chinamen, who persisted in lingering about after they had been assured that their pnper could only be cashed in San Francisco on presentation at the bank. 1 How Wall Street Take It. New York, Aug. 27. Financial and commercial eirclea were thrown into a state of excitement at the opening by the report of the suspension of the Bank of California, and for a time the utmost confusion existed in the Gold snd Stnok Exchange, the price of gold rising plump to 114, while stooks declined 12 per cent, on free pressure of sales. At the opening of the Stock Exchange there wsb a rush to sell, and for a time the noise and din was equal to a first-class panic occasion. A reasonably fair idea of the immense business done and the din and racket attending it may be formed when it is stated that up to Board the amount of shares transacted registered over 74,000. The anxiety to sell at first was marked, and prices dropped quickly and severely. After this Budden decline, however, a number of strong buyers step ped into the market, and belore .Board there was a strong raliy, Lake Shore mov- ii2 up to OUj. newest common to 41 . St. Paul common to 37, the preferred to (S3, Pacific Mail to 38. and th Western Un ion Telegraph to 82. Wliy lb Bank or Calll'arnla Failed. New York, Aug. 27 Fisk & Hatch say the bank had no interest as investors in the Central Pacific railroad. The Secretary of the company in this oily confirms this statement but says the Central Pacific railroad had an account with the bank, and had made loans from it. He had not heard that the condition of the bank had been considered unBound by bankers. Persons interested in the affairs of the bank are positive in their assertion that the bank will, after a short time, be able to satisfy all its creditors. The failure of the Bank of California, while immediately caused by a depositors' run, was direct ly the outcome of a conflict between two classes of California speculators, one of the Bank of Ualtfornia party, headed by Mr. Huston and Mr, Sharon, and the other headed by Messrs. Flood, O'Brien and Haydenfell. The latter party have established a bank in San Francisco called the Bank of Nevada, with cash capital of $5,000,000 cold. and the right to increase it to $20,000,000. Incidental to this pgbt tney nave been buying mining properties known as the Savage, the Caledonia, the California, the Ophir and the Consolidated Virginia. The three latter are known as the Big Bonanza mines, and the Bank of California party obtained control ot them, in get ting this control tne stock oi tn uautor. nia was run up from 60 to 800, and was then multiplied by 5, which would make the highest price leu. u nas since de clined to 53. Ophir stock, while they were getting control, advanced irom 00 to vuv. ana was muiuimeu uv v. lunaiug iuv rep resent 140 in the new stock. It has since declined to 46. The Consolidated Virgin ia, during the process ot getting control, advanced from oo to ssu. It was yesier dav 267. That the bank has been strained of late and pinched has been evident to bankers who have snunned tneir puis irom tne fact that in the past sixty days most .of the bills ottered in this market nave neen those of other institutions, Indorsed by the Bank of California. The inference has been that the Bank of California had hypothecated security with thoBe who lent their bills, and that this borrowed exchange waa used to maintain funds needed to carry on the large operations of tne Dank, me amount or unaccepted bills of the Bank of California in this market is small. The bank's London correspondents were the Oriental Bank, a strong institution, one of the best in London, having a capital of 1,000,000 and a reserve oi tooo.uuu, so mat the di rect losses of the failure here are compar atively small. Most of the decline in the 1. 1 :..l. nlaA i i recovered, Panama excepted, l ne weak ness in that is occasioned by an impres sion that the stock is largely held in San Francisco. Laidlow at (Jo., agents here of the Bank of California, have not sus pended, and are paying everything except Bank of California obligations. Rumor and Keporiaon Wall Street. New York, Aug. 22. The Evening Commercial Bays there is not much change yet apparent from the Pacific coast trouble in the bonds of the Central Pacific road. The first mortgage bonds receded to 102, the San Joaquin branch to 101, and the bid for land grants was 96. per cent. There was a close intimacy between Mr. Balston and the Bank of California and Messrs. Huntington and Stanford of the Central Pacific road, but noth ing is yet known as to how far the latter mm nnmnrnmised bv the exnlosion nf the bank. It would be well for buyers of bonds to hold on nomlna newly in troduced lead arants by th road until saore i known of the Pacific coast complication. Then is a large amount of joint account on partnerahiD businass in merchandise done between this market ana feu rrtncisco, which for a time may be put to inconvenience by the curtailment of banking facilities at Ban Fran cisco, but nothing serious, so far as we are advised. Is likely to come of this trouble. Th former President of the California Bank is Mr. Mills, a wealthy man, and who is believed to b one of th trustees vst, if th trustees an liable and must pay, so that ao loss to lb public is likely to occur. It waa stated a probable that th bills or exchange will not exosed two hundred thousand pounds. in regard to the speculations of Mr. Ralston and his party in California a story is curnnt that their recent losses in silver mining stocks and other adventures amount to the sum of $6,000,000. It is not believed that other banking houses on the Pacific coast will be asriously ef fected aside from th additional suspen sion already noted. Foreign eichange was unanected, the amount ot bills oi the Bank of California unindorsed in this market being less than 500,000. Piob. ably moat of these bills have been accepted by th Oriental Bank of London, so that the loss hen will be very light. A number of bills bearing the indorse ment of the Bank of California hare been sold in this market, but they an good because of thehigh atandingof thedrawers. Kespecling reported transactions with the Federal Government in the purchase of silver, we hear an emphatie denial. The Government makes its purchase direct from th Consolidated Virginia Mining company, and never makes ad vances until the thing purchased is actually in hand. The sum of $3,000,000 wss recently purchased in this way, and is now in the assay office in Wall street,' Rumor and Report aa California aireei. San Francisco. Aug. 27. Th ex citement seems to be subsiding. The crowd on California street ia much leas than at the opening of business to-day. The run on London and San Francisco closed with a large surplus nmaining in values. There wss a slight run on the Analo California at the opening, but it soon subsided. The First Nations! Gold Bank reports everything quiet. The same may be said of the Bank of British Columbia, and the Pacific and Commercial banks. Private banks all report no excitement. Everything is going on SB usual. Generally city banks are considered sound except the Bank of California. Mr. Ralston this morning sayB nothing in addition to the statements of yesterday morning. Kumors are current aa to tbe condition of the California Bank, One statement, apparently from a good source, is that tbe bank will pay depositore In fun and stockholders fifty cents. On the other hand, prominent stockholden stste that the utmost the bank can do will be to sat-isly depositors, and scarcely that. There has been a little rush at the Hibernian Savings Bank, but the demands were promptly met within the by-laws. Gen erally speaking, confidence seems to be returning. It is believed the worst is over. But little uneasiness is felt as to the affairs of either the National Gold Bank, the Trust Company or tbe Mer chants' Exchange Bank. The former reports a probability of soon re suming, although unable to hi a date. There is an abundance of available assets, only waiting the recep tion of coin, lhe President ibis morning stated that they paid oul $1,000,000 yes terday, with a small supply lett. ine Merchants J&xchange la believed to be sound, and its suspension only temporary. It is stated on presumably good authority that some half dozen heavy stock brokers are likely to go down. No names are given. Bio commercial failures are yet reported, though a squeeze is expected next Monday, collection day. The Savings Banks during the day have been do ing the usual business, deposits in some being larger than the disbursements. There is no excitement on that line. niclde of Sir, RaJiion.

A special dis-patoh from San Francisoo says the Exchanges are all closed snd business in a state of suspension. There is great excitement. Gold has dropped to 113. Circumstances of Ralalon'a Dentil. San Francisco, Aug. 27. There is great excitement in the city. The death of Mr. Ralston overshadows every other event. From the best information it appears he went to the sea bathing establishment at the north beach about 3:25 p. in., undressed, went into the water swam 200 yards, disappeared behind a vessel and soon after his body wss discovered floating by the Selby Lead Works and waa brought ashore still alive. Physicians were summoned but effortB to resuscitate him failed, and he died at ten minutes to five o'clock. Colonel Fry, his father-in-law, Major Otis, and other prominent citizens arrived before he expired. Colonel Fry and Captain Lees went to tne naming nouses and ootained Mr. Walston's clothes, In these were found a few dollars, but nothing having a tendency to show that be committed sui' cide, Tbe Baltimore anaar Refinery Fall lire. New York, Aug. 27. A special from Baltimore says the firm of Sterling, Ahrens & Co., which suspended yesterday, have imported since the 1st of January 50,000 hogsheads of sugar and 40,000 hogsheads of molasses, nearly twothirds as much as their whole trade in 1874. They have been carrying great quantities of molasses at a heavy lose ever since the commencement of the year, the market price not paying for manufacture. The principal Baltimore creditors are Alex. Brown & Sons, bankers, and Benninger Bros., shippers, lhe Browns are credit ors to the amount of $300,000. That firm suspended the 1st of January, and it was their refusal to make a further loan of f 160.000 that precipitated the suapersion. Besides their import trade. Sterling, Ahrens 4 Co. have largely exported flour and provisions to the West Indies, and are consequently in debt to the flour trade and packers. The firm own the Chesa peake and Merchants' refineries, and lease the Maryland and operate the (Jalvert lor its owners, ah except the latter tney converted into molasses refineries, and so accumulated a heavy stock, which broke them down, iney also own a large barrel factory, and nine vessels are engaged in trade with Cuba and Brazil.

Twen-lyone report bottom growth rotting seriously, 7 serious development of ruat. Sevejityfour report perfect crops. Eight report picking commenced, and all report that it will not become general until, on the average, September 13. Much speculative apprehension is expressed in regard to the present critical condition of the cotton crop, which is generally claimed to be two or three weeks later than usual. Its luxuriant growth will require an exceeding late frost, and unless dry warm weather succeeds there is great danger of the bottom growth rotting in the low lands, where the growth is already so dense as to exclude both sun and air. In regard to the damage by overflow we have been unable to arrive at any definite information. In most caBea our correspondents in the overflowed district have been so overwhelmed with their own cases that they were unprepared, aome unwilling, to make definite responses. That very great damage on the plantations subject to the influences of a flood by tbe Mississippi river has occurred will not admit of a doubt, when the totally destroyed and partially by back water, in connection with the damage by sipe and standing rain water, is considered. We are constrained to believe from such information as we have (hat the damage within that portion of the cotton region allotted to this Exchange will not fall short of 60,000 bales. One hundred and twentyseven report superior corn crops, 31 good, 1 inferior from drouth. Much damage has occur red in the river districts by overflow and much in the interior by wind storms.

COMLY ft FRANCISCO, rVBLIBHIBI AND PBOPBIETOKB. JAMES !H. COMLY, Warmer and partly cloudy weather today, with rain in the Mmittippi Valley. The British Minister at Pekin has telegraphed for troops. Trouble seems to be brewing. Sam Cary is so in love with rag money that he just almost gave away a valuable silver mine to his Cincinnati friends. It is mid they will never forget him for it in fact, they tried to make it a matter of court record. Cam. John H. Putnam, editor of the Dispatch and Private Secretary to Governor Allen, is also publisher of the Chillicothe Advertiser, the old hardshell, dyed-in-the-wool Bourbon Democratic organ for Fruit Hill and Boss county. Here is a significant fact : Millers-burg, Ohio, has thirtyeight business establishments, which pay an aggregate tax of $2,45618, while the First National Bank of Millersburg alone pays $4,864.49, or $1,008.18 more than all the other business houses of the place. Toledo, in spite of its unsuitableness, is determined to have the State fish hatchery. It ought to start a frog hatchery and be content. That would cost the State nothing and prove an unparalleled success. Let the Future Great City confine herself to her natural in duitries. Good advice to Catholics now : "Fear not them that can kill the body, but have not power to kill the soul rather fear Him who hath power to cast both soul and body into hell. Yea I Bay fear Him." "If this is treason make the most of it." CafAofic Columbian, Aug. 28. ' In other words, bow to the infallibi lit? of the Pope at all times and under al circumstances, when he commands you owe allegiance to none other. What is the life of the American republic in com' parison to the welfare of the Vatican at Borne? The failure of the Bank of California is eagerly caught up as an argument against resumption. It is just the reverse. It is a practical and impressive argument against inflation. The causes of this great failure are precisely such aa we sug' gested yesterday. Inordinate speculation is the wasting influence that has brought down the great financial giant of the Pa cific Coast. Ralston, Sharon and the rest have been grasping for Nevada bonanzas, have recklessly plunged into the whirlpool of stock gambling, have staked all in a desperate contest for con trolling interests in railways, mines and other great speculative ventures, and the result is what we see. It is true the Bank of California is a coin bank. It is also true that the bus! ness of the Pacific Coast has been and transacted upon a coin basis. But there is nothing in th nature of resumption or of gold and silver, to prevent reckless' ness in business, or protect men from the consequences of thsir own folly. The most ardent advocates of resumption claim no such thing. Panios occur in coin currency times as well as in paper curnncy times. Men mismanage their business and fail when the paper dollar la worth a dollar in gold just a well as when it is not. Then is no known preventive of thee things as long as men are weak, reckless and tempted. It is true they an n likely to occur and an far more stilly bone, when th currency basis is hard money thaa when it ia Irredeemable paper, and California baa bean notably free from financial dilute ri wbea all the rat of the country waa convulsed. Prosperity has prevailed then when atafnatioa pro-railed hero, and production has kept right along, growing and flourishing, while it languished or expired ia all the paper money States. Than ia this further to be aaid ia favor of th California system, that it will stand ouch a disaster as this far better thaa ours would. Th Bank of California, though not qaita so famous, wu really a greater institution than half a doien such as that of Jay Cook A Co. Th breaking down of auch a bank in New York, if, indeed, New York had such an one, would apnad ruia far and wide. But th chance seem to be that business will go right along in Sao Francisco without anything like such a convulsion as swept over this part of the Dnioa two years ago. Th excitement on California street waa subsiding yesterday, and then had been no commercial failure. Then is no paper bubble to burst, as then would be here, and the icope and effects of the disaster must be proportionately less. But this failure teaches th folly and illustrate th evil of currency redundancy. No matter whether that currency be coin or paper, toe effects will be the same in kind, if not in degree. An excess of coin produces extravagance la living and recklessness in business juat as does an ex cess of paper. Germany is now suffering from a debauch of this kind just ss Spain suffered after her discoveries of gold and silver in Mexico and South America. California has had a redundancy of money. Her mines have furnished a contin ual stream of. coin, and her bank vaults have been crammed with gold and silver. This excess of idle capital has produced mischief. The plentifulness of money and the ease with which it could be obtained has tempted men into all sorts of wild, reckless enterprises. While the bonanzas were pouring out their fabulous wealth there seemed to be no limit to the resources for chance money making, and speculation has run riot. The Californians have astonished the world by their business recklessness and general style of fast living. They are a people habitually intoxicated by currency excess. But these things must have an end, and the end has come. The mad debauch has reached its limit, and the time has oome for sobering up. Let the people of Ohio profit by the frightful example so opportunely furnished, and set their faces sternly against all similar follies, B0YT0N BEATEN. Captain Webb Swims the Eoglkh Channel Within 23 Hours. He Lands on the French Coast Wearied but Well. Progress and Incidents of the Great Exploit. Saw York Herald 3. ecial. London, Aug. 25. Captain Webb, who started on his second attempt to swim the English Channel from Dover to Calais on Tuesday, at one o'clock in the afternoon, arrived at the latter place to-day at noon, after being in the water twentytwo hours and fortylhreeisinutes, nearly three hours lunger man lue time lu wuium MB emulated to accomplish the journey. THE bate of speed.-At halfpast five p. m. he was progress ing at the rate of twenty strokes a minute, the sea and weather being favorable. He was Furnished witn at ana beet tea, and again at eight p. m. with beef tea and beer. Alter that he rested on his back for a while, TROUBLED WITH SEAWEED, At nine o'clock he became troubled with seaweed, and at eleven he took a draught of cod liver oil. When the moon rose, at one in the morning, some brandy and tea were administered to him, Webb declaring at the tine that the swim across was "a sate thing." A TURN IN THE TIDE, At three a, m. he took some coffee. At this time the tide turned northward, and Webb appeared exhausted. His trainer stripped and held himself in readiness to go to Webb's assistance, out webD laugh' ingly declined the proffered aid. WHAT THE DRIFT MIGHT DO. At this time he was still keeping up a pace of twenty Btrokes per minute. Fears were entertained that the northern tide drift would throw Webb abreast of Calais sands, as the sequel proved, PLUCK OF THE SWIMMEB, . At four o'clock a. m., and four miles further progress, daylight broke. Webb was drowsy, and conee and brandy were given mm. At ball-past five rtiden's buoys were in sight and tneir position located. At seven o'clock a westerly breeze sprung: up and a chopping sea fol lowed, making the prospect extremely discouraging; but the indomitable pluck of the swimmer never faltered. webd's accompaniment. A small skiff kept on the weather side of Webb, who was now swimming slowly and had juBt partaken ot a brandy straight. CHEERED BY CALAIS STEAMERS. Every twenty minutes soundings were taken at eight and ten fathoms. Steamers came out from Calais and stesmed alongside the gallant swimmer on the weather side, the sea breaking all the while, Cheers upon cheers went up, snd Webb seemed to teel their inspiring influence. IN SHALLOW WATER. He laid a direct course for Calais sands. westward of the pier, and at half past ten a. m. was in shallow water. WELL AND SAFELY LANDED. At forty minutes past ten a, m. the he. role Webb stood on French soil, tired, of course, but very shortly recovered, tie was conveyed to a hotel in a carriage, rub bed down, put to bed, and at one o'clock when the Herald correspondent sailed for Dover, Webb was tranquilly asleep, and th doctors had no fears of any serious consequences.

AsTltaltea of Mew York Depositor. New York, Aug. 27. The news ef suspension of the Bank of California this morning produced considerable excitement among depositors and creditors generally of that institution in this city. The offices of Laidlow & Co., agents of the bank in this city, have since tbe opening of their doon at an early hour been thronged with anxious inquiries, In obe dience to instructions received by telegraph no checks were cashed. The senior member of the firm was aBked for information concerning the condition of the bank, and of the affairs of Laidlow A Co. independently of their agency for the Bank of California, but he replied that he could say nothing. Among the visitors who wen anxious to obtain money for paper were four or five Chinamen, who persisted in lingering about after they had been assured that their pnper could only be cashed in San Francisco on presentation at the bank. 1 How Wall Street Take It. New York, Aug. 27. Financial and commercial eirclea were thrown into a state of excitement at the opening by the report of the suspension of the Bank of California, and for a time the utmost confusion existed in the Gold snd Stnok Exchange, the price of gold rising plump to 114, while stooks declined 12 per cent, on free pressure of sales. At the opening of the Stock Exchange there wsb a rush to sell, and for a time the noise and din was equal to a first-class panic occasion. A reasonably fair idea of the immense business done and the din and racket attending it may be formed when it is stated that up to Board the amount of shares transacted registered over 74,000. The anxiety to sell at first was marked, and prices dropped quickly and severely. After this Budden decline, however, a number of strong buyers step ped into the market, and belore .Board there was a strong raliy, Lake Shore mov- ii2 up to OUj. newest common to 41 . St. Paul common to 37, the preferred to (S3, Pacific Mail to 38. and th Western Un ion Telegraph to 82. Wliy lb Bank or Calll'arnla Failed. New York, Aug. 27 Fisk & Hatch say the bank had no interest as investors in the Central Pacific railroad. The Secretary of the company in this oily confirms this statement but says the Central Pacific railroad had an account with the bank, and had made loans from it. He had not heard that the condition of the bank had been considered unBound by bankers. Persons interested in the affairs of the bank are positive in their assertion that the bank will, after a short time, be able to satisfy all its creditors. The failure of the Bank of California, while immediately caused by a depositors' run, was direct ly the outcome of a conflict between two classes of California speculators, one of the Bank of Ualtfornia party, headed by Mr. Huston and Mr, Sharon, and the other headed by Messrs. Flood, O'Brien and Haydenfell. The latter party have established a bank in San Francisco called the Bank of Nevada, with cash capital of $5,000,000 cold. and the right to increase it to $20,000,000. Incidental to this pgbt tney nave been buying mining properties known as the Savage, the Caledonia, the California, the Ophir and the Consolidated Virginia. The three latter are known as the Big Bonanza mines, and the Bank of California party obtained control ot them, in get ting this control tne stock oi tn uautor. nia was run up from 60 to 800, and was then multiplied by 5, which would make the highest price leu. u nas since de clined to 53. Ophir stock, while they were getting control, advanced irom 00 to vuv. ana was muiuimeu uv v. lunaiug iuv rep resent 140 in the new stock. It has since declined to 46. The Consolidated Virgin ia, during the process ot getting control, advanced from oo to ssu. It was yesier dav 267. That the bank has been strained of late and pinched has been evident to bankers who have snunned tneir puis irom tne fact that in the past sixty days most .of the bills ottered in this market nave neen those of other institutions, Indorsed by the Bank of California. The inference has been that the Bank of California had hypothecated security with thoBe who lent their bills, and that this borrowed exchange waa used to maintain funds needed to carry on the large operations of tne Dank, me amount or unaccepted bills of the Bank of California in this market is small. The bank's London correspondents were the Oriental Bank, a strong institution, one of the best in London, having a capital of 1,000,000 and a reserve oi tooo.uuu, so mat the di rect losses of the failure here are compar atively small. Most of the decline in the 1. 1 :..l. nlaA i i recovered, Panama excepted, l ne weak ness in that is occasioned by an impres sion that the stock is largely held in San Francisco. Laidlow at (Jo., agents here of the Bank of California, have not sus pended, and are paying everything except Bank of California obligations. Rumor and Keporiaon Wall Street. New York, Aug. 22. The Evening Commercial Bays there is not much change yet apparent from the Pacific coast trouble in the bonds of the Central Pacific road. The first mortgage bonds receded to 102, the San Joaquin branch to 101, and the bid for land grants was 96. per cent. There was a close intimacy between Mr. Balston and the Bank of California and Messrs. Huntington and Stanford of the Central Pacific road, but noth ing is yet known as to how far the latter mm nnmnrnmised bv the exnlosion nf the bank. It would be well for buyers of bonds to hold on nomlna newly in troduced lead arants by th road until saore i known of the Pacific coast complication. Then is a large amount of joint account on partnerahiD businass in merchandise done between this market ana feu rrtncisco, which for a time may be put to inconvenience by the curtailment of banking facilities at Ban Fran cisco, but nothing serious, so far as we are advised. Is likely to come of this trouble. Th former President of the California Bank is Mr. Mills, a wealthy man, and who is believed to b one of th trustees vst, if th trustees an liable and must pay, so that ao loss to lb public is likely to occur. It waa stated a probable that th bills or exchange will not exosed two hundred thousand pounds. in regard to the speculations of Mr. Ralston and his party in California a story is curnnt that their recent losses in silver mining stocks and other adventures amount to the sum of $6,000,000. It is not believed that other banking houses on the Pacific coast will be asriously ef fected aside from th additional suspen sion already noted. Foreign eichange was unanected, the amount ot bills oi the Bank of California unindorsed in this market being less than 500,000. Piob. ably moat of these bills have been accepted by th Oriental Bank of London, so that the loss hen will be very light. A number of bills bearing the indorse ment of the Bank of California hare been sold in this market, but they an good because of thehigh atandingof thedrawers. Kespecling reported transactions with the Federal Government in the purchase of silver, we hear an emphatie denial. The Government makes its purchase direct from th Consolidated Virginia Mining company, and never makes ad vances until the thing purchased is actually in hand. The sum of $3,000,000 wss recently purchased in this way, and is now in the assay office in Wall street,' Rumor and Report aa California aireei. San Francisco. Aug. 27. Th ex citement seems to be subsiding. The crowd on California street ia much leas than at the opening of business to-day. The run on London and San Francisco closed with a large surplus nmaining in values. There wss a slight run on the Analo California at the opening, but it soon subsided. The First Nations! Gold Bank reports everything quiet. The same may be said of the Bank of British Columbia, and the Pacific and Commercial banks. Private banks all report no excitement. Everything is going on SB usual. Generally city banks are considered sound except the Bank of California. Mr. Ralston this morning sayB nothing in addition to the statements of yesterday morning. Kumors are current aa to tbe condition of the California Bank, One statement, apparently from a good source, is that tbe bank will pay depositore In fun and stockholders fifty cents.

There has been a little rush at the Hibernian Savings Bank, but the demands were promptly met within the by-laws. Gen erally speaking, confidence seems to be returning. It is believed the worst is over. But little uneasiness is felt as to the affairs of either the National Gold Bank, the Trust Company or tbe Mer chants' Exchange Bank. The former reports a probability of soon re suming, although unable to hi a date.

San Francisco, Aug. 27. There is great excitement in the city. The death of Mr. Ralston overshadows every other event. From the best information it appears he went to the sea bathing establishment at the north beach about 3:25 p. in., undressed, went into the water swam 200 yards, disappeared behind a vessel and soon after his body wss discovered floating by the Selby Lead Works and waa brought ashore still alive. Physicians were summoned but effortB to resuscitate him failed, and he died at ten minutes to five o'clock. Colonel Fry, his father-in-law, Major Otis, and other prominent citizens arrived before he expired. Colonel Fry and Captain Lees went to tne naming nouses and ootained Mr. Walston's clothes, In these were found a few dollars, but nothing having a tendency to show that be committed sui' cide, Tbe Baltimore anaar Refinery Fall lire. New York, Aug. 27. A special from Baltimore says the firm of Sterling, Ahrens & Co., which suspended yesterday, have imported since the 1st of January 50,000 hogsheads of sugar and 40,000 hogsheads of molasses, nearly twothirds as much as their whole trade in 1874. They have been carrying great quantities of molasses at a heavy lose ever since the commencement of the year, the market price not paying for manufacture. The principal Baltimore creditors are Alex. Brown & Sons, bankers, and Benninger Bros., shippers, lhe Browns are credit ors to the amount of $300,000. That firm suspended the 1st of January, and it was their refusal to make a further loan of f 160.000 that precipitated the suapersion. Besides their import trade. Sterling, Ahrens 4 Co. have largely exported flour and provisions to the West Indies, and are consequently in debt to the flour trade and packers. The firm own the Chesa peake and Merchants' refineries, and lease the Maryland and operate the (Jalvert lor its owners, ah except the latter tney converted into molasses refineries, and so accumulated a heavy stock, which broke them down, iney also own a large barrel factory, and nine vessels are engaged in trade with Cuba and Brazil.

' Th committee say : Notwithstanding the excessive wet and cold weather that has prevailed aisce our report of June 26, th general crop prospects indicated ny lb report an oi a gratifying caaracier. in urulubiuti are that a larger or better corn crop waa never soad in this region.

It is estimated that the avenge is 28 percent, better. Tventyone report bottom growth only good, 67 bottom and middle growth good. Eighty report the top crop very light and making tuo much weed. Twen-lyone report bottom growth rotting seriously, 7 serious development of ruat. Sevejityfour report perfect crops. Eight report picking commenced, and all report that it will not become general until, on the average, September 13. Much speculative apprehension is expressed in regard to the present critical condition of the cotton crop, which is generally claimed to be two or three weeks later than usual. Its luxuriant growth will require an exceeding late frost, and unless dry warm weather succeeds there is great danger of the bottom growth rotting in the low lands, where the growth is already so dense as to exclude both sun and air. In regard to the damage by overflow we have been unable to arrive at any definite information. In most caBea our correspondents in the overflowed district have been so overwhelmed with their own cases that they were unprepared, aome unwilling, to make definite responses. That very great damage on the plantations subject to the influences of a flood by tbe Mississippi river has occurred will not admit of a doubt, when the totally destroyed and partially by back water, in connection with the damage by sipe and standing rain water, is considered. We are constrained to believe from such information as we have (hat the damage within that portion of the cotton region allotted to this Exchange will not fall short of 60,000 bales. One hundred and twentyseven report superior corn crops, 31 good, 1 inferior from drouth. Much damage has occur red in the river districts by overflow and much in the interior by wind storms. The estimated damage is not given. One hundred and seven report no damage to wheat crops bv exposure, and 18 report average damage to them of 0 per cent. lhe average yield per acre, i'Ja report is 121 bushels. Ooe hundred and twenty- eight report good crops of oats raised, 11 interior, and ZU none raised; 130 report crops well saved and 10 not, with an aver age loss to them of 10 per cent.
